C Jiri Kulich - Rochester Americans, AHL (2022, 28th, BUF)

He’s playing well. I’m not sure if playing Center is best for him though. It’s a lot more responsibility than playing wing. Also, he is much more of a scorer than a playmaker. I prefer him at wing…

His best games in the NHL have been these last few at center. I get the skepticism--I've felt it, too--but I don't see any reason to move him away from a position he's played well at. It's not like centers can't be goalscorers. Case in point, the #1 forward on this team right now: Tage Thompson.

As someone who has been skeptical of Kulich at center in the AHL, I have been pleasantly surprised by his results and actions doing it on this recall. His defensive effort, using his speed to track his man and disrupt plays in short areas has been top notch IMO. And he's taken his summer training work to heart, to get to the net and get ugly chances.

I'm happy he's succeeding. Again, I would not take him out of the lineup as they get their injured regulars back (at least for now).

I think he's a Rod Brindamour type and really loves the gym.

Posters told us we were wrong for saying Kulich wasn't ready at the start of the season. Now they're telling us he's a bust even though we're saying he's looked good and probably isn't going back down. 2 seasons in the AHL is being overcooked now.

Holy moly I hope those posts are satire.
